Introduction to SAS [16-19]

Saving a SAS Data Set

Saving a data set is similar to accessing an external SAS data set.

You need to:

• First create the library that connects to a particular location on the server (or a folder on your machine, if you are not using SAS OnDemand for Academics).
• Copy the data set into this library.

Example

Libname Proj1 '/home/kisumsam';

Data Test;
    a = 1;
Run;

Data Proj1.Test;
    Set Test;
Run;

The data set will then be saved on the SAS server:

To download the file to your PC, you can simply right click on the data set, and click Download File:
